Connected checkout
A checkout that hands the payment result straight back to the order, so your store moves forward without stitching systems together.
Industries / E-commerce
Make the payment feel like part of the store.
A good order journey does not end at checkout. Connect the customer's payment to the order your team needs to fulfill.

Order and payment stay connected.
The checkout layer
Built for the way online stores actually sell.
From the first click to the delivered package, Zapi keeps the payment tied to the order, the customer, and the operations behind every sale.
Fraud protection
Screen every transaction for risk before it touches your inventory, with signals tuned to the Ethiopian market.
Mobile-first
Most shoppers arrive on a phone. The checkout is built for small screens, slow connections, and one-thumb navigation.
Refunds & returns
Issue a refund against the original order without leaving the payment record, so returns stay tied to the sale that created them.
Cross-border ready
Accept international cards and local methods side by side, with currency handled at the moment of payment.
Store analytics
See conversion, abandoned carts, and refund rates next to payment activity, in the same view your team already uses.
After the click
Every order has an operational side.
A sale is not finished when the card is charged. The payment result has to reach the people and systems that fulfill the order.
01 / ORDER
Cart
Show shoppers what they are buying and what they will pay, with totals that match the final charge.
02 / ORDER
Payment
Bring payment confirmation back to the purchase journey so the order can move to the next stage.
03 / ORDER
Fulfillment
Give your team the context needed to act on the order — what was paid, what ships, and to whom.
Built for online stores
One payment layer, many kinds of store.
From a single-product brand to a catalog of thousands, the same checkout adapts to how your store actually sells.
D2C brands
Sell direct to shoppers with a checkout that matches your brand and hands the order to your fulfillment team.
Flash sales
Handle spikes in traffic and authorization volume without the checkout falling over at the worst moment.
Cross-border stores
Accept local and international payment methods in one flow, with currency settled at the point of sale.
Subscription boxes
Recurring orders stay tied to the customer and the plan, so each box ships against a confirmed payment.
Build the checkout your store needs.

What store teams ask before they put their checkout on Zapi.
Yes. The checkout can be styled to match your storefront, so the payment step feels like a continuation of the shopping experience rather than a hand-off to a third-party page. Your brand, colors, and tone stay consistent through the moment of payment.
Zapi returns a clear result to your store in real time, so the order does not move forward on a failed charge. The shopper sees what went wrong and can retry with a different method, keeping recovery inside the same journey instead of a lost sale.
Yes. Refunds are issued against the original payment, so the return stays connected to the sale that created it. Your team sees the full history of an order — charge, fulfillment, and refund — in one place.
Zapi supports the local and international payment methods your shoppers expect, including cards and mobile money, with new methods added as the market evolves. You choose what to present at checkout.
